Beauty, grief, eroticism, horror, love, terror ... all so intrinsically intertwined. This is a beautiful piece with beautiful, powerful photos. Thank you.

Where did you find your definition of erotic? Did it come to you? did you create it?

Faye Boam's avatar

I revealed it to myself through exploring my connection to the erotic and noticing what it really was. What really made me feel alive, present, buzzing with energy.

There were many teachers and books along the way (happy to recommend if you’re interested) that helped me understand this, but ultimately I believe we all have to come to our own understanding of the erotic. Because what makes us feel connected to that thread of aliveness is different for everyone

Beautiful telling of the erotic. It’s only art, music and poetry that can convey the heart of the erotic and its profound magic.

Thank you, beauty 🌹 yes, agreed. The miracle that can only be conveyed through the artist’s field of perception

"I wonder if the act of holding grief is the same as holding a belief that in letting it out, you will lose something." - You captured a feeling I haven't been able to describe for a while. Thank you.

I'm slowly letting my grief out and it is transformative.
